	Oil and Politics in Kazakhstan By Martha Brill Olcott
		While Kazakhstan was still part of the USSR, Nazarbaev fought simultaneously to increase his republic's share for the national economy and to insure the continued existence of some form of Soviet Union.
		For Baikonur Kazakhstan was demanding as much as $7 billion in back rent and $3 billion per year in rent (eventually reduced to $115 million), while the republic yielded its nuclear arsenal for $1.2 billion in prepayment against sale of the warheads' enriched uranium, plus another $311 million in US aid for military conversion.
		For Kazakhstan the only real choice is between giving Russia s share and having no oil profits at all, which leaves the republic with only one realistic goal in its negotiations--to extract the greatest possible benefit to itself in return for submitting to the inevitable.

		To maintain his legitimacy, Nazarbayev has championed himself as uniquely qualified to prevent ethnic conflict between the dominant nationalities of Kazakhstan, broadly interpreted to mean Kazakh and Slavic.
		However, to assert himself as head of a Kazakh state, Nazarbayev has needed the majority of Kazakhstan's population to be, in fact, Kazakh.
		The dramatic and ongoing emigration of Russians and other peoples is hard to deny (see Table 1), but it is possible that Kazakhs are also leaving the country--undermining Nazarbayev's desire to establish Kazakhstan as an ethnic homeland and threatening his efforts to strengthen its authority.
